Genshin Impact is a F2P action-adventure game in the mould of Breath of the Wild. While we think Genshin Impact surpasses BotW, we have many concerns about the game's monetisation.
Call it coincidence or fate, but it seems HoYoverse is launching for new characters sharing Arlecchino and Boothill's designs.
Genshin Impact version 4.5 update "Blades Weaving Betwixt Brocade” arrives on March 13th. Learn about its new character and events here.
With a new update coming, Genshin Impact developer HoYoverse has started the cycle of new trailers introducing the next five-star character, Chiori.
I disagree with this reviews overall recommendation. I have been playing for 30+ hours (currently AR25) and haven't spent a dime. Nor do I feel compelled to. And I'm still having a blast. You can easily just ignore it and work towards quests, exploration, and the story without ever needing to toss in any money.
Yes, paying would speed up the progression like any game with MT's... but it's so easy to ignore and still have fun I can't see why you wouldn't suggest this game to friends.
